SikuliX

Is SikuliX(image recognition) better on the Macbook M1 ?

Asked by funtikar

I think I remember Raiman is using the M1 too so probably this is a direct question
I am currently using an i5 4690K cpu and a GTX 650 Gpu,
I currently fancy a MacOS system but I also want the best performance for Sikulix for the money.
Would it be better for the same amount of money to buy a Macbook M1 or should I just buy the current processor Intel Windows machine out there?

I made a simple one-image test on the above systems.

The values following the # mean:
- search time on whole screen (milli secs)
- search time in remembered location if still there (milli secs)
- screen size in pixel
- total screen pixels
- searchtime per MegaPixel

the last value gives a hint about relative performance with SikuliX image search.

It looks like that the Mx machines have a slightly better performance.
